troughs, the latter having been brough
from the station on the Salmon river

at the Little White Salmon station for
hatching all the eggs taken th ere.

Numerous complaints against assessing
notes of local capitalists when foreign
capitalists and money brokers are not
assessed have been made. We can't see
why notes should l:e ascessed in this
country when not in all other counties
thereby forcing signers of notes to pay
double taxes as nearly all mortgages pro
vide for payment of all taxes by the
mortgagors who are as a rule small
property owners. If you have a home
worth say $10 J0 it is assessed at $500,
about half, while large corporations are
assessed at about one-third or less, and
you have a mortgage for $750 on the
piace, which is assessed at two-thirds its
value or $500. Now you are paying taxes
on $1000 while the corporations pay on
$300 or less as you eau't assess mortgages
on their property because notes are held
in another county or state.
